Just had a serious Venezuelan feast at Empanadas Mix and I'm still recovering like a champ…read more Walked in hungry... walked out questioning my life choices (in the best way). The Pepito Mix sandwich loaded with beef and chicken was basically a heavyweight champion between two pieces of bread. Then came the arepas--thick fried cornmeal shells stuffed with carne asada, pork belly, sweet plantains, special sauce, and a mountain of shredded queso. That's not a snack... that's a strategy for survival. Washed it down with fresh passion fruit juice and a cold Maltín Polar like a true gentleman of culture. Shoutout to my waitress Paola, who patiently guided me through the menu while I pointed at everything like a kid in a candy store. The place is small, cozy, full of Venezuelan music, and the staff are incredibly kind. Moral of the story: Came for empanadas... stayed for the Venezuelan flavor knockout. I'll definitely be back. Hungry. Again.

The Venezuelan arepas (cachapas) are okay, not my favorite. I tried the shredded meat empanada, it…read moreneeded the sauce to make it edible. The ham and cheese empanada was a little better and didn't need as much sauce. The place is small but they do provide table service. I wouldn't visit again as it not my favorite cuisine.

5/5 Amazing empanadas! Everything tasted fresh, hot, and…read morereally flavorful. You can tell they make them fresh, which is probably why there can be a bit of a wait sometimes. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the place has a nice vibe. If you're in a hurry, it's better to call or order online ahead of time and then just pick it up. Totally worth it though -- the empanadas are so yummy and freshly made!

I had a recent experience with Parva that really stood out to me. An order I placed came out…read moreincorrectly, but what impressed me most was how they handled it. The staff member who called me was honest, direct, and took responsibility right away. Shortly after, the owner himself came personally to my pharmacy to replace the items at no cost. That level of accountability and professionalism is something you don't see often. It really speaks to the kind of business they run and the respect they have for their customers. Beyond that, their food has always been consistently delicious. This experience just reinforced why I'll continue supporting them. Highly recommend Parva to anyone in the Elmhurst and Jackson Heights community -- not just for the food, but for their integrity and care.

I have had arepas at this location before but trying the arepa de Choclo con Camerones was an OMG moment. My friend was with me and she ordered the arepa con Queso and had I known how delicious my arepa de Choclo was, I would have NEVER shared my portion with her. In all seriousness, she shared hers with me but my dish was out-of-the-park good. The sauces on the side were good too.

Love the selection here. There's a zesty selection so instead of just chicken it's chicken fajita or chicken and potatoes. There the hamburger which is really beef and cheddar cheese.

Soccer games are on the tv screens inside. There are cushioned booths and chairs, and it's good for small groups or dates. I walked in on a Sunday evening around 7 PM, so we got all the attention. :) The bartenders speak Spanish. The waitstaff said that it turns up at 10 PM, so that is good to know! The menu had light foods like tacos, empanadas, and chicken wings. I had ordered a margarita and a mojito. This bar had on Reggaeton, like lots of El Gran Combo de PR, Daddy Yankee, and Bad Bunny! So I sense that it's a great spot for dancing and drinks! I would definitely go back but probably on a Friday night.

Service: 2.2/5 Food: 4.3/5…read morePrice: under $20 Slightly revamped menu with some new items, mostly still the same. Service needs improvement. I placed 2 orders: 1st came out in 10 min, but 2nd was seemingly lost/forgotten. Despite checking in periodically, a follow-up with the kitchen didn't happen until my final ask ~40 min later. With such high customer turnover, someone sitting in plain view waiting for ~1hr should ideally stand out. While I was given a quick apology + extra sauces, it didn't quite make up for the significant delay + the lack of follow-through was disappointing. What I Ordered: - Chicken Fajita: good, not a standout - Hawaiian: good, still heavy on the cheese + pineapple - Pork: tender meat, not much different from the chicken - Figs, Caramel + Cheese: unique, but the fruit + caramel combo is too sweet

Of course, prices will increase, but for about $3.50 you get a large, flavorful & filling empanada. You eat 3 of these and you'll be good for a few hours! What I also like about this place is that if you're not feeling fried, you can get it baked. My go-to is the (fried or baked - both good) chicken fajitas, pizza, and Cheese steak. Add a little bit of the green sauce to each bite & you're invited to mama's kitchen! Just be prepared for a wait time if you order, since each is made to order! Cash and card are both accepted but with a price difference.

Latino Bites is a small, no-frills Colombian eatery that's got a straight-forward menu, good service and AMAZING food. I've only had Colombian food a few times and I was happy to try something new - the menu has photos and descriptions for all different options. My friend'a husband is Colombian so she was very familiar with the menu. The Colombian burgers looked out of this world - also they are huge. BOMBASTIC I would say. But we both went with an Arepa each - I had the Chicken Arepa and my friend had the Chorizo Arepa. So so so good!! When the arepa first comes out, it looks small but once you start eating it, you realize the amount of chicken and the sauces on the arepa makes it very substantial and filling. Served with a little bit of salsa and a little lettuce on the side, it was very satisfying. They also have some juices, sodas, and other food options like tacos, pizza and of course, as mentioned, the burgers! Since I tried to "be good," it will have to possibly be a next-time treat! 9/10 spot; so good that they even have a good truck across the street.
